Method of capturing an image in a device and the device thereof
First Claim
1. A method of capturing an image in a device, the method comprising:
- displaying a preview of an image to be captured on a screen of the device;
allowing a user to execute a capturing command with an action input through a spatial relationship with a region, wherein the region is any area on the surface of the screen;
sensing the capturing command;
comparing the capturing command to a template stored in a memory of the device, wherein the template is associated with image capturing, and consisting of a touch, a swipe, a gesture, a function of time, pressure, temperature, finger prints, or any combination thereof; and
capturing the image if the capturing command substantially matches the template,wherein, after the comparison result is that the capturing command substantially matches the template, and before the image is captured, an automatic focusing using a focus area associated with the region is optionally comprised, andwherein the template is predefined by the user via the followed steps;
repeating user inputs a number of times to record an average touch time, touch pressure, or length of wiping; and
storing the average touch time, touch pressure, or length of swiping in the memory of the device as the template.

Abstract
A method of capturing an image in a device and the device thereof are provided. The method comprises displaying a preview of an image to be captured on a screen of the device; allowing a user to execute an action input through a spatial relationship with a region, wherein the region is any area on the surface of the screen; sensing the action input; comparing the action input to a template stored in a memory of the device, wherein the template is associated with image capturing; and capturing the image if the action input substantially matches the template. The method of capturing images in the device and the device thereof provided by the present disclosure permit a user to easily capture images without clicking a fixed area on the screen.

9. A device for capturing an image, comprising:
-
a processor; a sensor coupled to the processor, the sensor configured to sense an action input and send the sensed action input to the processor; an image capturing unit coupled to the processor, the image capturing unit configured to capture the image; a screen coupled to the processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to perform steps comprising; displaying an preview of an image to be captured on the screen of the device; allowing a user to execute a capturing command with the action input through a spatial relationship with a region, wherein the region is any area on the surface of the screen; sensing the capturing command; comparing the capturing command to a template stored in the memory of the device, wherein the template is associated with image capturing, and consisting of a touch, a swipe, a gesture, a function of time, pressure, temperature, finger prints, or any combination thereof; and capturing the image if the capturing command substantially matches the template, wherein, after the comparison result is that the capturing command substantially matches the template, and before the image is captured, an automatic focusing using a focus area associated with the region is optionally comprised, and wherein the template is predefined by the user via the followed steps; repeating user inputs a number of times to record an average touch time, touch pressure, or length of wiping; and storing the average touch time, touch pressure, or length of swiping in the memory of the device as the template. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing one or more programs for use by a processor of a device to perform a process comprising:
-
displaying a preview of an image to be captured on a screen of the device; allowing a user to execute a capturing command with an action input through a spatial relationship with a region, wherein the region is any area on the surface of the screen; sensing the capturing command; comparing the capturing command to a template stored in a memory of the device, wherein the template is associated with image capturing, and consisting of a touch, a swipe, a gesture, a function of time, pressure, temperature, finger prints, or any combination thereof; and capturing the image if the capturing command substantially matches the template, wherein, after the comparison result is that the capturing command substantially matches the template, and before the image is captured, an automatic focusing using a focus area associated with the region is optionally comprised, and wherein the template is predefined by the user via the followed steps; repeating user inputs a number of times to record an average touch time, touch pressure, or length of wiping; and storing the average touch time, touch pressure, or length of swiping in the memory of the device as the template. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
